Introduction
“Communication: opening the door to understanding”
I believe that good communication is the key to a good relationship. If we communicate well with people in our lives we are able to better understand what people around us want, need, expect of us and what they are able to do and likewise they will understand what we want or need. This includes not just the people we live with but our co-workers, therapists and service providers of many kinds. When we communicate we exchange ideas, feelings, intentions or commands as by speech, gestures, writing or behaviour.
